A DECADE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY GROWTH SURPASSING EXPECTATIONS

Projected levels of renewable energy for 2020 were already surpassed by 2010. 

Global installed capacity and production from all renewable technologies haveincreased substantially

Significant cost reductions for most technologies

Supporting policies spread throughout the world.

RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE WORLD

Renewable energy provided an estimated 19% of global final energy consumption.

The share of modern renewable energy increased to 10%.

The share of traditional biomass was of 9%.

HEATING & COOLING

Small but growing renewable energy share of final global heat demand: approx. 10%

Trends: Increasing use of renewables in combined heat and power plants Renewables in district systems as best practice for RE integration in cities Growing use of renewable heat for industrial purposes Hybrid solutions in building renovation

The share of heat from renewables in Brazil was 43%.

Page 9: RENEWABLES 2014 GLOBAL STATUS REPORT · RENEWABLES 2014 GLOBAL STATUS REPORT LATIN AMERICA CESC WEBINAR CHRISTINE LINS ... The share of heat from renewables in Brazil ... 4-7 October

TRANSPORT

Liquid biofuels met about 2.3% of total transport fuel demand.

Growing interested in gaseous biofuels and hybrid options (e.g. biodiesel‐natural gas buses, or electric‐diesel transport)

Limited, but increasing initiatives to link electric transport systems with RE, particular at city/regional level

Total global hydropower capacity: 1,000 GW

40 GW of new capacity were commissioned in 2013, presenting a 4% increase.

Steady industry growth, driven by: China’s expansion modernisation of ageing hydropower 

facilities increasing recognition of the potential for 

hydropower to complement other renewable technologies, such as variable wind and solar power

Solar PV had a record year in 2013:  About +39 GW added Total capacity: 139 GW

For the first time, more PV capacity was added than wind capacity, accounting for about one‐third of renewable power capacity added during the year.

China accounted for a third of global capacity additions, followed by Japan & the U.S.

RE POLICY LANDSCAPE

At least 144 countries had renewable energy targets.

At least 138 countries had renewable energy policies in place, out of which 95 are developing countries (up from 15 in 2005).

Most policies focus on power: mainly feed‐in‐tariffs and renewable portfolio standards

Revision and retroactive reductions in several countries, mainly in Europe and the US

DISTRIBUTED RENEWABLE ENERGY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Energy access and the use of distributed renewable energy increased.

On all continents except Africa, growth in population electrified is bigger than the growth in total population.

Rural energy markets are increasingly being recognisedas business opportunities.

Global perceptions of renewable energy haveshifted considerably. The past decade has set thewheels in motion for a global transition torenewables, but a concerted and sustained effortis needed to achieve it:• More‐rigorous integration of renewable energy • A levelised playing field for the entire energy 

sector• Long‐term and differentiated stable policy 

frameworks to sustain and increase investment levels

• Greater attention to the heating and cooling and the transport sector

• Improved energy data to monitor advancements in achieving a renewable energy transition
